Introduction to Truck Brake Pads with Sintered Ceramic Mixture
Sintered Ceramic brake pads mixture represents a cutting-edge innovation in brake pads friction materials, engineered for heavy-duty trucks demanding exceptional heat resistance, durability, and eco-friendliness. This brake pads formula utilizes high-purity ceramic fibers, metallic sintering agents, and advanced binding polymers to deliver superior braking performance while eliminating hazardous materials like copper and asbestos. Below is a technical overview, advantages, and storage guidelines for this advanced friction material.
Technical Parameters of Sintered ceramic brake pads mixes
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Friction Coefficient (μ) | 0.40–0.55 (stable at 0–800°C) |
| Operating Temperature | -50°C to 800°C |
| Density | 3.0–3.5 g/cm³ |
| Thickness | 10–25 mm (customizable) |
| Shear Strength | ≥4.2 MPa |
| Noise Level | ≤65 dB (ultra-low noise design) |
| Compressive Strength | ≥120 MPa |
Note: Parameters are adjustable for specific truck models (e.g., Volvo FH16, Scania R-series).
Advantages of Sintered ceramic brake pads mixture
- Extreme Thermal Stability
- The brake pads friction materials maintain consistent friction coefficients even at 800°C, preventing brake fade during prolonged downhill braking.
- Ceramic fibers reduce heat transfer to brake components, minimizing rotor warping.
- Extended Lifespan
- Sintered ceramic particles resist wear, offering 30% longer service life compared to traditional NAO or semi-metallic mixes.
- Environmental Compliance
- Free from copper, asbestos, and heavy metals, meeting REACH, RoHS, and ECE R90 standards.
- Produces 50% less brake dust, reducing environmental contamination.
- Enhanced Driver Comfort
- Optimized brake pads mixes reduce vibration and noise (<65 dB) through ceramic damping properties.
- High-Load Adaptability
- Ideal for mining trucks, cargo trailers, and buses operating in extreme conditions.
Packaging and Storage Guidelines
- Packaging:
- Vacuum-sealed, moisture-proof aluminum foil bags + reinforced wooden crates for bulk shipping.
- Labels include part numbers (e.g., WVA29301, 29145) and certifications (IATF16949, ECE R90).
- Storage:
- Temperature: 5–35°C; Humidity: ≤50% to prevent ceramic fiber degradation.
- Avoid stacking over 2 meters high and exposure to corrosive chemicals.
Applications
The brake pads formula is widely used in:
- Heavy-duty trucks (Volvo, Scania, Mercedes-Benz Actros).
- High-temperature scenarios (e.g., mountainous terrain, long-haul logistics).
